Paint Dipped Pots & Spring Greenery

Today I’m sharing an easy way to update old pottery by dipping them in paint. I’ve also added greenery to my dining room for spring!

Paint Dipped Pots & Spring Greenery - So Much Better With Age

I love a good upcycle project – taking something from a thrift shop and giving it new life. I found some pottery spice jars last year at my local thrift shop and I’ve been meaning to do this paint project to them since I got them. I’ll show you how I gave them a quick and easy update and how I added some greenery to my dining room for spring!

I’m participating in the Styled + Set Spring Home Style blog tour hosted by my friend Lory of Designthusiasm. If you are coming here from Cedar Hill Farmhouse, welcome! Be sure to see the other tours at the end of this post.

Paint Dipped Pots

1. These are the pottery spice pots I got last year. I love that they were that rough, unglazed pottery. I thought a ‘glaze’ over half of them would look neat and tried it out with paint.

2. I used painter’s tape to cover the top part of the pot that I wanted to keep natural.

3. Then I dipped them into some white paint. I used Raw Silk from Fusion Mineral Paint and poured some into a plastic container so there was room for dipping.

4. Then I let them dry upside down. It took a good 12 hours for them to fully dry.

I love that you can now see all the details that in the pottery that you couldn’t see before. They are now hip little vases.

Faux Greenery in the Dining Room

I added some faux greenery as well. I wanted these two little crock pots to have a plant but without proper drainage (and my black thumb) I thought it best to use faux greenery.

I cut up some pieces of floral foam in pushed them in the crock. Then I snipped some stems off faux greenery (similar here) and push them into the floral foam.

I added more faux greenery to a hanging basket (similar here) and hung it with a Command Hook on the mirror.

Just these painted dipped pots and faux greenery have made such a huge difference to the dining room. I’m so glad spring is almost here!

    What an adorable idea Jamie! You’re always so creative – and this has made them sooo cute! I feel like they are something I would see in an upscale store. And I love the idea of hanging that plant on the mirror – brilliant!!

    Nice to be ‘hopping’ with you again my friend!

    Jamie – I was meant to read this post today! I have the exact same basket you have on the mirror and today, honest to God, I was like how else can I use this basket! I had it handing on a door for such a long time and have been wanting to use it another and wanting to update my mirror in the dining room – it currently has a magnolia wreath on it – I LOVE the idea of the basket on it! Thank you so much for the inspiration! Now off to find some white delicate flowers and some greenery to add to it for Spring! Happy Spring!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
